.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 340 PM CDT TUE AUG 22 2006)

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. 20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED LOW PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER MONTANA AND NORTHERN WYOMING...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM
WEST CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS FRONT
WILL SLOWLY PUSH NORTHWARD TONIGHT...AND WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN
UPPER DISTURBANCE SLIDING ACROSS THE STATE AFTER RIDING OVER THE TOP
OF A RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE ROCKIES. A 25-35 KT LLJ DEVELOPS OVER
CENTRAL AND EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA OVERNIGHT...WITH LIS BETWEEN -4 AND
-6...AND CAPES BETWEEN 1500-2500 J/KG. STILL A BIT OF A CAP TO
OVERCOME OVER MUCH OF THE CWA...BUT ONCE THAT HAPPENS SOMETIME THIS
EVENING...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. SPC
PARAMETERS GIVE PRETTY GOOD INDICATIONS FOR DECENT CHANCES OF
SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT...BUT COULD NOT RULE
OUT A TORNADO OR TWO WITH DECENT HELICITY AND SHEAR WITH THE FRONT.

THE SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO PUSH EASTWARD ON WEDNESDAY...WITH THE
FRONT SAGGING BACK TO THE SOUTH. PRETTY GOOD CAP IN PLACE...SO WILL
LEAVE THE DAY PERIOD DRY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOOKS IFFY RIGHT NOW WITH
MODELS HINTING THE CAP MAY NOT BREAK...AND NO SIGNIFICANT LLJ
EXPECTED. BETTER CHANCE LOOKS TO COME AGAIN ON THURSDAY AS THE COLD
FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION AND BETTER INSTABILITY SETS UP DURING
THE EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN BEHIND THE EXITING FRONT LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...SO MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO TEMPERATURES. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL
BE THE WARMEST DAYS WITH THE WARM FRONT STILL NORTH OF MUCH OF THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY...AND BEFORE THE COLD FRONT REACHES THE AREA ON
THURSDAY NIGHT. COOLER TEMPS IN STORE FOR FRIDAY...MAINLY BACK DOWN
AROUND NORMAL.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
MODELS CONTINUE WITH THE FASTER SOLUTION IN REGARDS TO THE SHORTWAVE
PASSING THROUGH ON FRIDAY...WHICH MEANS THAT BY THE START OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...UPPER TROUGH SHOULD BE OFF TO OUR EAST. MODELS
STILL ARE HINTING AT ANOTHER WEAKER TROUGH SLIDING SOUTHEAST BEHIND
THE FIRST TROUGH. EC IS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS SECONDARY
WAVE. WITH LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND FAIRLY WEAK LOOKING
DYNAMICS...HAVE OPTED TO KEEP A DRY FORECAST GOING FOR SATURDAY. THE
REST OF THE PERIOD LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WILL MORE THAN LIKELY SEE SLOWING WARMING
TEMPS FROM SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE BUILDS.
